First Night Pick UP!!!

Subject: Field Report – My First Night on the Field
Author: Shady
Date: April 19, 2008

After so much reading about the field subject on Mystery and some seduction materials on the website, I decided to start approaching girls to get some practical experience on the field. Thailand’s pub is a little bit different from the pubs at the States. It’s always loud and noisy. Then I guess my actions will be started at the beginning stage of the party.
Our set was very simple and as always, I got Whiteface and JapStyle with me. They can’t be my wings because they can’t speak Thai language. So I guess it’s just me. I took minutes to build enough confidence and then I spot a girl at behind of our table.
So I did, I took the shot and went in, with some memorized openings in my mind.
“Hey did you see my friend over there? He’s white… Yeah! That’s him. He was kinda sad about his appearance because that’s what made him couldn’t speak bravely to girls.” I was trying to build a ladder toward my opinion openings like Style.
“So what do you think? Do you think girls will date guys like my friend?”
“It depends.”
“Depends on what?”
“Depends on the girl, if the girl really loves him, then they can surely get along.” She seemed pretty willing to give me the answer.
“So how about you? Would you like to date a guy like him?” I asked, that’s the wheelchair opening from Style.
“Me? Well, I think I can.” Just like what will happen, she really answered like that.
“Nah.. You are just making yourself look good among others girls.” I replied.
“Yeah.. You’re right.”
Well… Just like that? She suddenly just said that I am correct and I couldn’t continue. Actually, my brain becomes empty. And then soon, I went back coz I couldn’t do more than that.
That was the first girl tonight. She was in a single set. There was this strange feeling inside when I talk to this girl. I think that was what people called Approach Anxiety. I was fighting with it but I surrendered too fast.
After the first failure, I decided that I have to approach more. Then I saw there was a 3-girl set at the opposite side. But I have to get a good position!! So I went out and went in from the other door which would make look like I just went in. Then I moved in to the set.
“Hey! Did you just see those girls fighting outside?” Mystery’s Classic Opening.. XD
The girls went silence…
“So there were two girls fighting in front of the toilet. There were fighting for their boyfriends.”
Still another silence…
“So the reason that they fought was because they were just jealous to each other’s boyfriend!”
They smiled, but still silence. So again I have to end with, “Anyway, nice to see you guys.”
All this time I had to shout just to get three of them pay attention to me. So I guess my opening was weak because they had hard time listening. But I beginning feel better talking to girls. And I have to be stronger with my speech.
Later on, there were three girls finding a table to be at. So I offered them to be around our table. One of them was smiling to me. So I took that as an IOI and then talked to the set.
The talking was good. They laughed at my jokes and my negs worked on my target. Her name was XXX. I forgot already. But let’s make her called as Natalie. But there was this very big mistake I did that night. I misinterpreted their IODs to be IOIs! Gosh! I never know Natalie pretended to be interested in my all the way until she said, “Please, Just stay away from me because I want to dance.” By that time, I was clear. I got knocked down! And at the end, they moved to other table and I found Natalie talking to the other guy.
As the party went on, I felt kinda lousy coz I can’t do what I learned here because the music was too loud and I can’t do anything… Not even a neg. So I went out and had one fool’s mate go home with me.
Basically, here’s what I considered of my mistakes tonight.

  1. I always move too quick from approach to build a comfort, or let’s say I can’t figure out if my approach was succeeded or not. I have to work on this one.
  2. I misinterpreted girls IODs to be IOIs. How shameful!! But they were too good at hiding it or maybe I drank too much.
  3. I drank. Yes, no wonder Mystery always said never drink when you do your pick up. But I was high and I just can’t help it to get some glasses.. :smiley:
  4. Wrong openings. I guess the difference between Western girls and Eastern girls are that they can’t be opened up that easy based on their culture. But deep inside Mystery’s 3M-Model still worked a bit that night. The fact still can’t be forbidden.
  5. I need to work more on building up my styles.

Give me more advice if you have ^^ Thank you

IMO, i would say that you jumped into the “key” personal topics too fast - asian girls don’t exactly feel comfortable with guys talking about who they date as the first few sentences :frowning:

I suggest you go to the MM site and post on their board for field reports. Your opener was wrong and you display low value in your conversation. ‘would you date my friend’ is showing that your friends are losers, and more to the point that he prob sent you over to get her to talk to him. Thats how I would take that anyways.

yapp agreeed

also, don’t bash cultures… very low value.
I don’t know if you have learned women in your pubs or what not but that won’t be too appreciated in a multi-cultural place.
